What Barnes wants from Nkamhoua, Plavsic

[beachvol23]

I disagree. I have more hope for ON, but I’d be shocked if Plavsic is anything more than a 10 minute per game guy on a good team. ON could be a starter by his senior year. Maybe junior with large strides. He’s got a long ways to go though.

I agree mostly and ON has the tools, it looks mental to him: adjusting to speed of game and KNOWING exactly what to do and WHEN to do it! He seems like a quick learner, so I think he will develop very nicely! Also, DG I believe the same!!

If I remember just a few weeks ago Volnation claims Gaines wasnt an SEC player and horrible...Many of the same comments being made about ON and Plasvic....funny he has had a few good games now it all abiut his potential and how good can he be??
Basketball is one of the hardest sports to determine true talent..second to baseball...so much is mental that until you are mentally up to speed with the coaches plans and philosophy your going to have struggles..

Why do you make up fake quotes and complain that other posters misquote you?

That wasn't a cheap shot. It was an "I'm tired of your **** shot".

Righteous!!

It’s wasn’t that long ago we were hearing John Fulkerson didn’t belong at this level and would never be a quality SEC big. That Yves Pons was a bust and his skills would never materialize into anything productive.

He followed up a 16 point game at MSU with 4 fouls in 9 minutes at Bama. That's what freshmen do.

He does not have many rebounds and Barnes is talking about him needing to be tougher. I liked his shove and technical foul (at Bama). Indicates he has a bit of a mean streak that could serve him well. If he stays away from the injury bug I can see him having a really good career at TN.

I agree that Uros could end up being quite valuable for us down the road. The thing is, With the players we have coming in next year and the returning players, he doesn’t need to be a 15+ ppg player. If he gives you good D around the rim, doesn’t turn the ball over, holds his own on the boards and just gives you enough offensively that the other team has to account for him, then I would consider it a win. Now 3 years from now, I’d like to think a 7 footer could at least be a double digit scorer(10-11 ppg) for you.
GBO!!
